After much research on Glasgow, I decided to book four nights at Langs Hotel. I must tell you first that it was the last week in December and over New Year's Eve. First and foremost, the staff at this hotel are exceptional, they work very hard, and are eager to make your stay enjoyable. I give the staff 5 stars. The rooms are all very nice, large by U.K./European standards. However, the beds are in definite need of upgrading (which I think the hotel is actually upgrading some of their rooms as we speak.)
Anyway, our bed had no padding and my wife could feel the springs, so we asked to have them put extra bedding on the bed since all the rooms were sold out and that made a slight improvement. I give the rooms 4 stars out of 5. Beautiful hardwood floors, slate tile, and very cool fixtures, plus a CD player and television (which only has four stations, which is kind of a bummer, but they have DVDs that you can rent at the front desk.)
Now, if you have extra money, spend it and book yourself in one of their larger rooms, especially if you're planning on spending much time there, they looked beautiful with large windows overlooking the street.
We also had their room service every morning. Keep in mind that when you say 7:00, they will be there five minutes ahead of schedule, they are very prompt!
The breakfast was fine, basically everything you need to get you started. I would have to say that the best thing about this hotel, aside from its exceptional staff, is the LOCATION. It is right in the heart of Glasgow across the street from the Royal Concert Hall and a movie theater with 20 screens and all of the great shops of Glasgow.
We did not have any problems with the comfort level of the rooms like some of the others noted. I did notice that there was a new A/C unit in our room as well as a wall heater which turns off and on with the switch of a button. Plus the windows open onto the street and you can watch all the people walking by, which is pretty fun, too.
So I would give this location a definite 5 stars. Oh, the bus and rail stations are within five minutes of the hotel, so you can take a bus right over to Edinburgh if you so desire. It is for all of these reasons that I give this hotel 4 stars out of 5. Great staff, very stylish rooms, and wonderful location.
